Ebola: Family of dead Nigerian nurse on the run

The husband and children of the Nigerian nurse who died after getting infected with the Ebola virus are on the run, the health officials in the country have said.

Nigeria is the fourth West African country to be hit by the Ebola outbreak since it first emerged in March in Guinea. The virus entered the country when Patrick Sawyer, who was suffering from the disease arrived by plane late last month in Lagos.

The nurse, the only Nigerian fatality from the disease which has killed over 900 people in four West African countries, was exposed to the virus at a health facility Sawyer was taken before his death.

The nurse’s family were not the first to flee from quarantine. In Sierra Leone, health ministry data and officials, dozens of people confirmed by laboratory tests to have Ebola are now unaccounted for.

Industry watchers say the government more increase public awareness and sensitisation to educate the public.

About Me

Am Tanimowo Boluwatife, am an introvert and i often find it hard to relate. Well that does not really matter. Apart from my personalty, i believed in the culture and that of African specifically and i beleived it should be encouraged and practised for its continuty. Africans have despise their culture and majority does not even remeber or knows what it worth anymore due to urbanization, which makes me to set this platform up so as to share content relating to Africans majorly for better understanding of whats going on in Africa.
